As two of the leading MVC web frameworks for Python, Django and
TurboGears allow you to develop and launch sites in a fraction of
the time compared to traditional techniques and they provide
greater stability, scalability, and management than alternatives.
Packed with examples, this book will help you discover a new
methodology for designing, coding, testing, and deploying rich web
applications.

A team of expert authors shows you the power of MVC frameworks and
the capabilities of the TurboGears and Django packages. The Django
chapters show you how to automate production of common web
development tasks, portal creation, and content management, so you
can focus on higher-level application issues and design. The
TurboGears chapters illustrate how to rapidly create modern, highly
interactive Web 2.0 applications. For both frameworks, you'll
create useful applications that exemplify common Web 2.0 design
paradigms and their solutions. Ultimately, you'll leverage your
Python skills using Django and TurboGears and go from novice to RIA
expert.
